I have been suffering from Ulnar Neuropathy. Im 55. I want to be clarified whether I will be having peripheral neuropathy. What are the tests to be taken? I have already taken Nerve conduction test, Colour doppler tests etc. For the past 6 months Im not able to walk freely and my left hand is not also painful.

Hi @venki, is the neuropathy being caused by a damaged/pinched ulnar nerve or the result of a surgery? Mayo does have some interesting information that may also be helpful here:

Chris, I had an audio evoke test that indicated autonomic neuropathy. I also had a set of puncture biopsies that indicated sfn. Of course, I had the nerve conduction done years ago, before I knew anything more specific.

Thank U all for the response. I hope this site will be useful to me. As I don't have diabetic I wonder what would be the reason for the Ulnar neuropathy. That too all these tests were taken 10 months back. I don't know whether all neurological problems are progressive.Along with these problems I am also having, osteophytes, brain shrinkage, CSVD & Tinitus in the ears. Anyhow I have decided to live with all these.

Ask for a skin test. It will measure the density of the small or tiny fibers. Often called SFN, small fiber neuropathy can be idiopathic unless you already know you are diabetic.
